Obverse description Printed in red on cream paper, the obverse is dominated by dense Ottoman calligraphic text arranged across the central field, with the numeral '5' visible within the inscriptions. An oval cartouche at the top centre bears the imperial tughra, while a circular seal vignette occupies the lower centre. The entire composition is framed by an intricate guilloche border with ornamental corner pieces and lateral panels in the same red monochrome.
